Someday, an enraged victim of spammers is going to catch one of these clowns. If he/she gets the right jury, she/he will be found innocent, by reason of justified mayhem.

My friend Dan came over on Thurs evening. Dan has done paint many times in the past, and is currently in the process of restoring/updating/repairing his house, which was built in 1898. I helped him, over the course of a year, redo the redwood siding on that house, from ripping off the old siding through putting up the new.
Now, he's going to help me do the paint on this place. For a 1400 sq foot townhouse, it's going to take 10 to 15 gallons of paint for the walls and ceiling! Dan guesstimates five days: 2 for prep work (patching small holes, scrubbing with TSP, masking off, removing old wall paper), 2 for actual painting, and 1 for cleanup.
At least, that's the "plan". We know about plans, don't we? You don't? Mr. Murphy has many, many things to say about any "plan". Mostly, with gleeful, cackling laughter.
